Isolates and examines American cinema's most persistent Arab caricatures, from oversexed Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and blood-thirsty terrorists.
Based on author Jack Shaheen's book.
This is a great illustration of how the media controls our perceptions, and brings up more questions of what ells are we cultural blind to.
Then to view Australian TV I was upset when "Underbelly" was presented on Australian TV, glorifying the underworld of drugs etc. seeing first hand the responses of people when watching it. Some people accepting this genre and not questioning the morality of the actions taken by the characters by actors playing their part.
One person stating "this is a great platform to show Australian acting" as the only deference to the show when the morality is questioned ... But then we talked about the pedagogy of the TV show itself.... I will leave that to you
